A Dog That Loves to steal.

Prof. Nathan FrsnkO's dog, says tie
Omaha Republican, is disgrace to his
favored species. Exceptionally intel
hgent and good looking, provided with
the best o. homes by the most indulgent
OF masters, he ought to be above re-
proach of humanity and enjoyment of
the esteem of q whole circle of canine
acquaintances. But he isn't. He is a
common thief. His name is Faust"
Massive of frame and handsome of fea-
ture, he is goodly to gaze upon. He is
not the SulliVanistic style of ponderous
beauty, however, for his hair is abun-
dant and his eyes gazelle like. He is
the sort of a dog that mules do not kick
aud little boys hate to equip with tin
cans. His countenance is open when he
gspes. AT all times he is fran and
deceptive. Its bis insignia ofhypoerisy.
His thievIng is not even redeemed by
cunning of design and boldness of. ex-
ecutive, like that of a Doodle alderman
or speculative bank cashier. He steals
without regard to the value of his booty,
and in nearly every instance is detected.
His owner says he is affected with in
| durable kleptomania, but his vi. tins
describe him as miserable petty lar
cenist, sOulless sneak thief. The indi-
cations are thathe will continue to plum
der and plumber until he sinks into an
unwept and unhonored grave He is
young in years, but antique in crime.
When he was diminutlve puppy with
big head and long ears ridiculously
disproportienate to his body, pilferings
were excused as a natural ebullition of
the mischievous spirit of youth. In
those days he stole slippers and shoes,
| but as be increased in weight and
strength the articles he frozs 10 were
heavier and more valuable Now.he car
ries off anything he can ifs or drag. He
attempted TO teal a bicycle the other
| day, but it was too awkward for him to
carry, and tears OF anguish rolled down
his cheeks as he turned awav from it.
A Scared upper lip bears testimony to
tle seriousness of an Interview he had
with red hot stove. The stove wasn't
hurt very much, and is still where it
was during the interview.
II any householder misses a door mat
or section of garden fence or anything
OF that kind, it might be to his interest
to inspect the back yard of Prof. Ma
than tranko's residence That is where
Faust deposits the plumber he is unable
| to inter.

Canada Southern, yielded and losses of

feature OF the market, being very
active and decidedly weak and further
loss of ~ per cent. was sustained
There was a recovery of small fractions
later and the market again became ex-
tremely dull. At noon the market is
dull and steady. ~,
New YORK, February 17.-To-day's
stock market exhibited more animation
which, however, was attained at the
expense of quotations. The opening
was rather heavy, the majority of the
list showing decline from last even,
ing's final figures of 1s to n. The
market in the early dealings was dull,
but irregular and feverisb and generally
heavy, while Canada Southern and
West Point were consplcuously weak.
There was more activity toward noon,
but declines continued until nearly

in which New England became promi-
nent. though the gains recorded were
for fractions only. The decline was
then renewed, and continued to the
close. subject only to one or two slight
rallies and the market closed weak at
or near the lowest of the day.

A Queer Audience.

New YORK, February Ill was a
very peculiar matinee gwen at the Star
Theatre yesterday. The air was heavy
with the flavor of the stables. The
laughter was strongly hearty and the
parquette was made picturesque or
uncouth as one looks at that sort of
thing. 1t was hundred or more cow
boys who brought the stable flavor to
the theatre. 1t was crowd of queer
Indian squaws and papooses that made
the parquette look queer. Thew were
adorned with the brightest of war
paint, their best blankets and turkey
feathers. The queer audience was made
up of the Wild West, who were taking
in their first profes ional matinee. Nate
Salisbury, one of the proprietors of the
Wild West enterprise, was playing to
the queer audience, and the humming
bird was studded by Miss Macheney,
with allusion to the people IN the Incl.
dents of the cowboy and Indian drama.
The cowboys laughed at everything and
whistled and applauded like gallery
gods in a Bowery show. The Indians
did not know exactly what to make of
it, though they seemed TO enjoy the
singing and appla1ded it after their
uncivilized fashion, but they thoroughly
understood Nate Salisbury's appearance
in plug hat and horse blanket in his
imitation of Matamora or some other
Indian, and they responded to his war
whoop in lively fashion.

Indian Troubles Anticipated

DENVER, Col, February IA
Durango special to the Republican says
the Jicarilla Apaches have become dis.
satisfied, and are leaving their reserva-
ton in Southern New Mexico in large
numbers for their old reservation in
Southwestern Colorado. Their agent
seems to have little or no influence in
the matter, and two companies of
cavalry have been ordered from Fort
Lewis to Amargo to intercept them.
Trouble between the Indians and the
settlers is anticipated.

Hammond (Georgia) defended the
conference report. In 1862 an official
Importation was put upon the statute
books, with a view to breaking up the
practice of polygamy. 1t has been
defed ever since. Additional steps
had been taken, and the pend
ing bill was the additional
step. It was taken because the sense of
the american people was against that
practice, because the sense of the civil
